The actor told BBC Radio 1Xtra that he is confident about the new film after reuniting with Martin Lawrence recently.

Will said: ‘I saw Martin a few weeks ago. I haven’t seen him in about two years. We looked at each other. We hugged. In that moment, we knew we were making another Bad Boys. We’re definitely doing another one.’

Of course this doesn’t guarantee that a sequel will go ahead, but with both Smith and Lawrence up for it – and more and more TV shows and movies relying on nostalgia these days – there’s a pretty strong chance it could happen.
